For an example of creating a file and writing text to a file, see How to: Write Text to a File. For an example of reading text from a file, see How to: Read Text from a File. For an example of reading from and writing to a binary file, see How to: Read and Write to a Newly Created Data File.
The CanRead, CanSeek, and CanWrite properties are all set to true.
The capacity automatically increases when you use the SetLength method to set the length to a value larger than the capacity of the current stream. Except for a MemoryStream constructed with a byte[] parameter, write operations at the end of a MemoryStream expand the MemoryStream.
This constructor exposes the underlying stream that GetBuffer returns.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the MemoryStream class.
Dim memStream As New MemoryStream(100)
using(MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream(100))
MemoryStream^ memStream = gcnew MemoryStream( 100 );
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream(100);
